That's because the folks at Bluewire Media developed this nice little infographic that you can use when marketing your company's brand -- or your personal brand -- on LinkedIn.

It's divided up into a 5-minute daily LinkedIn regimen for marketers at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced stages. Choose whichever skill level is most appropriate for you, and treat the advice like a little 5-minute workout. After doing it for a few days, I bet you'll find it's easy to get up and running with your LinkedIn presence.

You know what they say -- practice makes perfect! (Okay, done with the adages. Sorry, everyone.)

P.S. If you'd like a printed version of the infographic, Bluewire Media offers one here.

So, where will you be starting? I think I might need to start at the "Beginner" stage -- heh -- and make this 5-minute-a-day thing part of my New Year marketing resolution.

I think LinkedIn can be a great tool - but like any tool, you have to pick it up and use it!
This confirmed many of my suspicions about how I interact with LinkedIn, and gave me some really good ideas.
Thanks for creating and sharing!

I can't thank you enough for this post. I reached out to the business development team at LinkedIn with a breaking news article on our site. Sure enough, within the hour, it was a featured article on LinkedIn Today/Pulse. Our traffic increased 300% and it's still rising. I highly suggest trying this.
